Impossible Tables

The returning Day 2 field is stacked with notables, and naturally, some of them have drawn the same table. It's an unfortunate thing if you recognize more than one or two of your neighbors at this stage, and a couple of today's starting tables stick out as particularly tough.

We start with Table 4 where we find the big-stacked Faraz Jaka sitting next to Dominik Nitsche, whom we had a bit of fun with yesterday. Around the other side of the table, there's a murderers' row that contains Barny Boatman, Matthew Frankland, Martins Adeniya, and Yorane Kerignard.

Table 8 is another astoundingly tough place to try and work today. British superstars Jake Cody and Chris Moorman will be seated side-by-side, and they'll have to deal with Kevin Iacofono, Alain Roy, Anton Wigg, and Yann Dion as well.

Table 11 seats a trio of the Team PokerStars family as Henrique Pinho, Nacho Barbero, and Mikhail "innerspy" Shalamov have drawn three seats in a row there. They'll also be joined by former Team Pro Juan Maceiras in a reunion of sorts.

And we'll finish up with Table 18 where sit Toby Lewis, James Sudworth, Olivier Busquet, and Johnny Lodden.

Now you know which tables we're hovering around for the first few orbits today.
